its a pain and the new ECI's also are not very good unlocked, openreach had the firmware really gutted out. eg. the 2nd lan port cannot be made to work, no way to get error stats, no gui, and there is no configuring qos, lan ip etc.
The good news is tho the ECI doesnt need a QoS adjustment to get full upload speeds, it gets full speeds out of the box. Only the HG needs unlocking for that.

*jealous*
your 56/20 to 86/28 more favourable than my higher estimated 65/20 to 73/24. Although I initially had 110/36.
I have decided to report my line as a fault now because I have found a issue affected by the voice which gives me a plausible reason to call in, I will do this after I have been moved over to the new totally unlimited infinity product.
I did find out from openreach staff tho the 2 reasons for the current line state I have. When I was on 110/36 my dslam wasnt even configured at all with the adsl power cutback modes, so when I got installed half a dozen adsl customers went offline, this makes me really wish I got my graphed data at the time so I would have seen the lack of power cutback on the adsl frequencies. So 90/36 is my real attainable I am trying to get back. The 2nd sync drop off happened when openreach did a power cutback on my upstream signal, they have now admitted to doing this, they do this in high crosstalk areas and my pair is conflicting with another thats further away from the cabinet so my signal was cutback to thelp the other. However they insist they didnt cutback the downstream signal and it seems that was weakened with the upstream power cutback (as both went down at same time). Incidently my cabinet is still closed for new orders now for over a month so I think they still considering making adjustments even tho they told me the case i closed. The fault I am going to report is a possible HR fault (high resistance) as I am seeing the snrm go down when the phone is in use, when the guy shows up I will ask for a pair swap and then hope this sorts out the crosstalk conflict issue. I hesitated to do this tho as asking for pair swaps can make things worse and my line is very stable.
